Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
Ask whether assignment is available for your policy and location, what fees apply, and what you must pay upfront. MedaSynq does not arrange assignments.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
Under the FTC Funeral Rule, funeral homes must give price information by telephone and a written General Price List when you visit in person. Federal law does not require them to send the list by mail or email. You can select individual goods and services and use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“To Bob and Maureen and staff: Thank you for helping us complete the arrangements for my precious mother. You were also there for us when my uncle passed last year. You were very responsive and answered our inquires rapidly, which gave us peace of mind. I would recommend your services to anyone.”
— N Quiles
“I wanted the most simple of ceremonies for the recent passing of my father. My mother and brother were buried through TKFH so I felt comfortable going back for my father. I met with Bob and we talked over pricing for what I wanted to be done. After receiving their proposal I called another home just to check the pricing and found TKFH to be over $6,000 dollars higher than what I received at the other funeral home doing the exact same things. Having gone through this, I can not tell you the disappointment I feel in this establishment .”
— JAMES ELLIS
